Huan Xin, who was in the cave, had no idea what was happening in the outside world. At this time, he could only sense Su He's safety through the soul box.
Seeing that there was no change in the talisman paper, Huan Xin focused all his attention on the old man in front of him.
When Huan Xin saw the real General Xianying Yuan in the small temple in the cave, he broke out in a cold sweat. This was indeed a monster of outrageous size. It was three meters tall and had a huge body. It was about seven or eight meters long. The entire giant turtle stood in the middle of the hall, taking up half of the space. Only then did Huan Xin understand why there was such a big palace inside this small temple.
What surprised Huaxin even more was that this giant turtle was actually the old man's "pet". The identity of this old man is even more bizarre. He is actually the father of Liu Ji, the founding prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, also known as the Three Emperors of Shangxiao, and later known as Liu Bowen for 500 years.
This old man turned out to be Liu Kuang, the father of the legendary Liu Bowen. Huan Xin couldn't help but be shocked when she learned the old man's identity, wondering how this man had survived from the end of the Yuan Dynasty to now. However, the old man did not mention this, but talked more about the origin of Laoye Temple.
It turns out that Liu Kuang also entered the court as an official at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, but after all, his father was a Taoist man and once taught the young Wudang Zhang Zhenren, so Liu Kuang resigned from office a few years later and started He abandoned his family and career to seek the path of enlightenment.
One day when he was traveling here, he saw a century-old white snake fighting with a giant turtle in a forest near the lake. There was also a Taoist with him at that time. This person was Zhang Zhenren, the founder of Wudang sect in the future. .
The two of them were like-minded at that time, so they made an appointment to travel in this great river and mountains. The two met a giant turtle fighting a white snake in the woods beside Poyang Lake, which also changed their lives.
I saw that the white snake's body was flexible, but the giant turtle was still. Every fierce attack from the white snake was blocked by the giant turtle's hard shell. And when the giant turtle waited for the white snake to be exhausted, the giant turtle would move like lightning. With great speed, he stretched out his head to attack the white snake. After several rounds, the seemingly ferocious white snake did not take any advantage and even suffered a lot of injuries.
In Liu Kuang's view, this scene only felt that the giant turtle was very cunning. It really represented the natural selection of one thing and the other. In the eyes of Zhang Zhenren, it was like he had realized a profound Taoist law: "You are so strong." "As strong as he is, the breeze blows over the hills." The feeling is also profound. The giant turtle does not move out of the mountain. When the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we advance. There is a degree of relaxation between attack and defense, and there is no chaos at all. It is truly possible to move a thousand pounds in four ounces.
Then the white snake retreated without a fight, and the giant turtle also showed a smile. At this time, Master Zhang seemed to have enlightened, and directly broke through the Hedao realm. This also surprised Liu Kuang on the side. He didn't understand what Master Zhang understood, how he understood it, and entered Hedao in one step. .
Later, Master Zhang said goodbye to Liu Kuang, saying that he seemed to have a new ideological experience and needed to find a place to retreat and reflect. Liu Kuang did not stop him and was sincerely happy that his friend had entered Hedao.
Many years later, there was a sect called Wudang in the world, and the founder of the sect was Zhang Zhenren. But Liu Kuang did not leave. Instead, he became good friends with the giant turtle. He rode the giant turtle around the vast Poyang Lake all day long, and enjoyed drinking and talking about poetry every day.
After a few years of peace, one day there was a raging war in Poyang Lake. Liu Kuang also knew that a young man named Zhu Yuanzhang was fighting against a man named Chen Youliang who had just proclaimed himself emperor. Liu Kuang was already a born man, so he had no interest in this kind of dispute and just kept watching from a distance.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang being beaten and retreating steadily, until he retreated to the lake with only a dozen people around him, Liu Kuang also sighed with regret. At this time, he also thought of the famous King of Chu in Jiangdong in history. Xiang Yu must have been in the same situation back then. Liu Kuang, who wanted to leave just then, actually spotted a figure in the crowd.
His son actually accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang. Liu Kuang saw that this was okay. No matter how much he traveled around the world, he could not see his son in deep danger.
So he swam to the shore with a giant turtle, rescued Zhu Yuanzhang and his party, and carried them to the other side of the lake unharmed, preventing the tragic scene in Wujiang River thousands of years ago from happening again.
Liu Ji was pleasantly surprised to see his father who had been traveling for many years here. When he saw his father and the giant turtle, he felt that all this was destined by God, and he was moved to tears by his father.
Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang, who successfully escaped from danger, also kowtowed to Liu Kuang and thanked him for his life-saving grace. Liu Kuang looked at this man who also looked like an emperor, so he nodded. When Zhu Yuanzhang promised to come and thank him when the situation was decided, Liu Kuang also put all the credit on the giant turtle, and just said that in the future, he would come to express his thanks. Just build a temple here to express gratitude to the giant turtle.
Soon after, Zhu Yuanzhang, like God's help, really defeated the arrogant Chen Youliang and created a brand new dynasty. His own son also ascended to the throne and became the prime minister, one man below ten thousand people.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had brought peace to the world, did not break his promise. He specifically ordered Liu Bowen to build the "Dingjiang King Temple" here to worship the giant turtle, and informed the heaven and earth that the giant turtle was named "General Xianying Yuan".
This is the origin of the Laoye Temple above. From then on, the giant turtle was enshrined by the emperor in heaven and earth and received incense for eternity. All of this is thanks to Liu Kuang, and the giant turtle has since become Liu Kuang's car, always accompanying him.
Later, at Liu Kuang's suggestion, the body of the late Chen Youliang was buried here, and the incense of the Laoye Temple was used to suppress the ghost king of Chen Youliang, who was invincible.
Speaking of this, Huanxin also has a deeper understanding of the origin of Laoye Temple.
Later, a hundred years later, a heavenly master from Longhu Mountain came down from the mountain. He also saw the luck of the Feng Shui dragon veins here. He wanted to use the Feng Shui luck here to cultivate the "Heavenly Dragon Qi" of Longhu Mountain, but he couldn't. Coincidentally, at the critical moment of his cultivation, when he was about to achieve great success, he was actually broken by a corpse breeder.
This self-proclaimed Celestial Master was also killed on the spot, and his young apprentice also witnessed it with his own eyes. The mage wanted to avenge his ancestor. As a result, ten years later, the corpse-raising family was exterminated by the contemporary Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain. And this The headmaster was the young disciple of the Heavenly Master who died on the spot.
The corpse-raising family was wiped out, but their heirlooms, the black iron coffin and the corpse, escaped. By chance, they also drifted here. After Liu Kuang learned about his life experience, he also took in the corpse. After all, the corpse has to suck human blood and absorb the essence of the sun and the moon every day. From then on, this place has really become a place where tigers and dragons are entrenched. Not only is there a big white snake that has been practicing for a hundred years, it has been entrenched in Poyang Lake. In the center, there is also a lying corpse with a thousand years of Taoism, and the invincible ghost king. At this time, it can be said that the strongest monsters in the world have gathered. Liu Kuang was also in pain at the time, but after thinking about it, these monsters gathered here It was better than separatist forces to cause harm to the world, so he followed the three evil creatures and made a "three-part agreement". As long as they didn't make too much noise, he and the giant turtle would not take action. Everyone would be fine and live in peace.
Even if they are the three rare evil creatures in the world, they still have to stay away from the giant turtle that has been enthroned by the emperor. After all, the giant turtle has been enthroned in heaven and earth, has a divine status, has been incense for eternity, and has Liu Kuang sitting in charge. These three evil creatures could only compromise, that is, they would come out to have small fights every now and then, but they did not cause much trouble.
But it didn't take long for this state to be broken by a disciple who came down from Yilonghu Mountain.
